"Geraniaceae Geraniaceae is a family of flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. The family name is derived from the genus ""Geranium"". The family includes both the genus ""Geranium"" (the cranesbills, or true geraniums) and the garden plants called geraniums, which modern botany classifies as genus ""Pelargonium"", along with other related genera. The family comprises 830 species in five to seven genera. The largest genera are ""Geranium"" (430 species), ""Pelargonium"" (280 species) and ""Erodium"" (80 species). Geraniaceae are herbs or subshrubs. The ""Sarcocaulon"" are succulent, but other members of the family generally are not. Leaves are usually lobed or otherwise"
